It was just a week till Christmas. Mobians all over the planet enjoyed this time of year. Of course they still had Easter, Halloween, Valentine's and New Year. But Christmas was one of the most treasured.

It was also Rusty's first Christmas. For to get him in the festive season, Sonic had invited him to his family house in the capital. While Dylan was spending Christmas with Sally and the royal family.
He was watching "Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas", when Sonic, Sonia and Manic's mother Aleena came in with a plate of cookies.
Rusty - "I DON'T SEE WHY THE GRINCH WOULD HATE CHRISTMAS! HE IS TOO DALEK!"
Aleena - "Oh, it's not his fault though, Rusty. Not many people like Christmas. Like Ebeneezer Scrounge."
Rusty - "THEY REMIND ME OF MY KIND! NOTHING MORE THAN MUTATED HUMANOID CEPHALOPODS!"
Aleena - "Mutated what?"
Rusty - "I'll SHOW YOU THE TRUE DALEK FORM!"
There was a small drill sound within Rusty's casing. And he opens his skirting, middle and dome sections to reveal the one-eyed mutant with a brain on top. It holds out a sucker-less tentacle.
Aleena - "Oh, my. What on Mobius ha..."
Rusty - "REALLY THE DALEKS ARE THE MUTATED REMAINS OF THE KALEDS! OUR ORIGIN SPECIES!"
Aleena - "Could you tell me how that happened?"
Rusty - "IT BEGINS MANY CENTURIES AGO!"

Suddenly, a head in tin helmet, gas mask, radiation detector, and Part of his uniform is made of animal skins, and yet the combat jacket was a modern synthetic fibre, pops up from behind a ridge. Then a second, and a third, and more. Like World War One troops going over the top of the trenches, they advance - and promptly get mown down by machine gun fire.
Rusty - *Narrating* "IT WAS DURING THE FINAL DAYS OF THE THOUSAND YEAR WAR! BOTH THE KALEDS AND THE THALS WERE ON THE BRINK OF COLLAPSING! WOULD SOON BE FIGHTING THE WAR WITH BOW'S AND ARROWS! IT WASN'T UNTIL, HE CREATED US!"
[Bunker]
On a table, suspended embryos were inside glass cylinders. Dalek Gun sticks layed about as well as manipulator arms on a table.
A Kaled moves aside the table
KALED - "Ready, sir."
A voice from the shadows replies that sounds slightly mechanical .
